About Community Empowerment Lab

CEL is a community-entrenched & impact-focused research & innovation organization of global repute. We have been embedded in rural Uttar Pradesh since 2003 and have made seminal contributions to the science of advancing mother and infant health and early child development, as well as to global and national policy. Our mission is to place mothers at the heart of human development and nurture them so that they can nurture the future of humanity. We do so by first understanding the workings and needs of these communities, then we co-design solutions with them that are eventually tested through Trials/Experiments. The scientific findings from these Trials/Experiments are then scaled to influence state, national and global policies and are implemented within the community.

Our core is focused on Newborn Survival & Maternal Health, Health system strengthening and Early Childhood Development. Therefore, all our initiatives are aligned to solve the local and global challenges faced by newborns and mothers.
